Another danger is that a Trump regime will nix electric car vehicle initiatives at home and in Canada, costing government backers and car companies billions. Also at risk is agricultural trade, from supply management to grain exports around the world. (Jack: Are you scared yet?)

A Trump win spells trouble for Canada

Canada is weaker than before and Trump will take advantage of that and more

The outcome of the U.S. Presidential race is up in the air, but the ramifications for Canada of a Trump victory are dire.Donald Trump is a Republican, a party and belief system that doesn’t exist in Canada and isn’t synonymous with being a Canadian Conservative. He is a protectionist suspicious of trade deals with Canada or any other nations. He plans to impose tariffs across-the-board. He is also an isolationist and would cut a deal with Russia, letting it keep at least some portion of Ukraine it now occupies. He would invoice Europe and Canada for neglecting to fulfil their NATO and other military commitments.

His two catch phrases “America First” and “close the border” represent real hazards for Canada. “Close the border” aims to stop the flood of illegal migration along the Mexican border, but also includes a Trump promise to deport millions of illegals now living in the United States. His “America First” slogan already resulted in a renegotiation of the three-way trade deal between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and could again.

Both these initiatives are troublesome for Canada.

Jack’s Note: This is getting so tedious.  For over four decades Canadian columnists have been beating on the evil Americans with high enthusiasm.  I don’t know if they understand just how ridiculous they sound or know how much damage they continue to do to our relationship with our LARGEST trading partner but with Trump they had better sit up and pay attention because The Donald will not tolerate their continued beligerence. 

This all started with Pierre Elliot Trudeau.  You remember? He’s the asshole that got Canada into the fix we now find ourselves in  and it’s not a place many would envy unless they happen to be a well indoctrinated Canadian writer with mayhem aforethought in mind planning their next attack on a country that has never done us any harm and has always been there for us when we need them.  Don’t believe me? Pick up a Toronto Star or a Globe and Mail (to mention just two) and read the anti-american garbage you find there day in and day out.

These people, heavily into indoctrinating Canadians in socialist ways, are worse than the writers in Russia’s famous national newspaper Pravda.  Personally, I don’t like being treated as an idiot and I’m with Trump on this one. 

My country comes first and ‘oh’, I refuse to buy the ongoing bullshit!  I’m smarter than that!
